On the occasion of the architecture and design festival Concéntrico in Logroño in the region of La Rioja, FAHR was invited to present an intervention in the public space using plywood.
In a previous visit to a carpentry where we have work in progress, the carpenter talked about the way in which the woodwork was transformed by the technological development and the emerging of pre-fabrication. In consequence, nowadays wood is hardly used as a raw material, but mostly in leafs or sheets. In the studio we thought that this idea of "leaf" as a manifestation of time could be explored in the public space of Logroño as space of meeting, convergence, sharing or fun. Thus, in this context/material relation, there is also a relation of times between the old and the present, where the present is also the reflection of the versatility of the public space as space for all, enjoyable and capable of generating social contact.
